CAUGHT WITH THEIR PANTS DOWN:
As I'll explain in a further post I've been rather flummoxed by the hits on this blog in the last few days. But one stood out as "different" from the others. It came in yesterday, March 2nd, amongst the flood of hits looking at the lunar eclipse post, but the search was different. It was for "Chinese Taiwanese calender" (say what ?), and related to the posts here on on the Chinese New Year. Fair and good, but the searcher was an employee in...The Microsoft Corporation.... Well, my curiosity was peaked(and piqued) when I saw the source of the hit so I went further. Always nice to know why Microsoft is paying attention to you. When I searched it down I found what they were looking for, as I said above. But here's the punch line...
Guess what Microsoft uses to search the internet? No, it's not their own search engine. It's, of course,....Google. Caught in the act guys.

Another Found Joke:
This one is from Straight Goods, an independent left wing Canadian ejournal. For the source see http://www.straightgoods or same under our 'Other Interesting Links' section.
DIRECTIONS FOR MICROSOFT TV DINNERS:
1)You must first remove the plastic cover. By doing so you agree to accept and honour Microsoft rights to all TV dinners.
2)You may not give anyone else a bite of your dinner (which would constitute an infringement of Microsoft's rights). You may, however, let others smell and look at your dinner and are encouraged to tell them how good it is.
3)If you have a PC microwave oven, insert the dinner into the oven. Set the oven using these keystrokes: mstv.dinn//08.5min@50percentheat// . Then enter.
4)If you have a Mac oven, insert the dinner and press start. The oven will set itself and cook the dinner. Be forewarned that Microsoft dinners may crash, in which case your oven must be restarted.
5)Remove the dinner from the oven and enter to be repeated. Try unplugging the microwave and doing a cold reboot. If this doesn't work contact your hardware vendor.
6)Many users have reported that the dinner tray is far too big, larger than the dinner itself, having many useless compartments, most of which are empty. These are for future menu items.
7)If the tray is too large to fit in your oven you will need to upgrade your equipment.
8)If you want another variety, call Microsoft help and they will explain that you really don't need another variety. Microsoft Chicken is all you really need.
9)Microsoft has disclosed plans to discontinue all smaller versions of their chicken dinners. Future releases will only be in the larger family size.
10)Microsoft promises a desert with every dinner after '98. However, that version has yet to be released. Users have permission to get thrilled in advance.
11)Microsoft dinners may be incompatible with other diners in the freezer, causing your freezer to self-defrost. This is a feature, not a bug. Your freezer probably should have been defrosted anyway.
